One scroll through her Instagram and it’s easy to see how often she opens up about being disabled.
“I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken GPS,” she said .
The other day she went to Disneyland with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
She required a wheelchair for the trip, and shared a photo with fans, reminding them that there was no shame in it.
Still, the two were able to explore the park, and relive the experience just as they did the first time they visited, 21 years ago.
Honestly, this is serving me so much nostalgia.
Fans can’t get enough of their friendship!

Like we said earlier, MS is a chronic disease that attacks healthy tissue in the central nervous system.

Way to go, Selma!
